Dear Sir/Madam;
I was living overseas for over ten years but have recently come
back to America with my wife. I have a BS in mechanical engineering
and speak Mandarin at an intermediate level. I am looking for a
position that will allow me to make use of my varied experiences as
well as my education and my cultural understanding. I was a Product
Engineer in the States and my experiences in China have been varied.
As an engineer I would often write reports dealing with technical
matters in a nontechnical manner for non-engineers. Also, I am very
familiar with multiple operating systems and easily handle new and
varied software. Currently I use Mac and Linux (Debian and Ubuntu).
I am looking forward to living in America again and being able to
share my knowledge. I appreciate you considering me.
Thank you,
Kip Oneal Rountree
